city of baltimore still planning the party, a very serious football battle is being waged off the gridiron. in fact, the very fate of america's favorite sport hangs in the balance with attorneys and doctors piling on to the nfl over head injuries. chronic brain condition of cte is beginning to make the way in to the public conscious. it's the clearest evidence of brain damage linked to depression, memory loss, early dementia and even death. but the lawsuits don't fault the league, necessarily, for a lack of issue on the issue. the nfl accused of researching the long-term effects of concussions but then covering up the results to protect its bottom line. that's a claim the league vehemently denied. could the legal challenges change the game forever and necessarily a bad thing? bloomberg businessweek's latest cover story is "crunch time." it's on news stands right now and paul bar vet the author and assisting managing editor. welcome. >> thanks. >> you write in here that the very future of football is at stake here and i'll quote you. you say if science one day determines that merely playing

one of the most obvious ways is times square which was one of the rotting core of the city filled with peepshows, porn, crime, and the homeless. he condemned, revitalized times square. but now it's clean and brings millions into the city. less visible to tourists but just as important is the $5 billion he spent on creating affordable housing which helped change the bronx. at funeral today, bill clinton spoke which is fitting because it's hard to find two politicians more nakedly in l ld of being loved. where clinton is a smooth operator who approaches america as if it were a lovely lady he would like to pick up, koch was brash and opinion yat yated. he is like chris christie who tell it is like it is. in the doc koch says you can only get the people to follow you by being bigger than life, and he refers to politics as theater which makes sense because he was good at that. he was good at all sorts of theater. >> i'm going to tell you who you're doing, you're doing terrible. that's why i'm going to jump off this roof. >> it's all right. it's all right. it's me, mayor koch. >> jump, jump!

>> what's wrong with the city? >> dirt, noise, mugging, stabbing, rape, roaches, pigeon mess, horse mess, people mess. >> eddie murphy's character is representative of the mayor's deep troubles with new york's black community. for somebody who needed to be loved he was polarizing to and unafraid of angering new york's blacks. in reportthe doc a reporter say lacked a sensitivity. perhaps it's fitting that new york's racial troubles in the '80s were a part of his political undoing and his successor was the city's first and only black mayor. david dinkins was gentlemanly mayor. mike bloomberg has been a cold business manage mother thought he was a king but none could match koch as the embodiment of the city which often seems at war with itself. both new york and koch are larger than life. both have massive egos. both have things they'd rather hide, and both are an essential part of the fabric of america. and now for another essential part of the fabric of america, martin bashir. >> thank you very much, toure. good aft
